Anna would be absolutely correct in her assumption that Simona was making up these names on the spot but that didn’t take away that the young child was only doing so to make her eldest sister feel special without taking away from the rest of her siblings. She was lucky to have a family with as close a connection as the five of them did although she was oblivious to the inner feelings of the Hufflepuff in regards to their fathers. The ‘half’ might well have not existed as far as the ten year old was concerned. “That’s a very long way” she beamed, leaning into her sister’s side for that extra comfort she so craved when separated from the others. “I love you to the bottom of every ocean and back, to infinity and beyond.” Which was a distance that she was not acutely aware of but it seemed like a very long distance regardless.
Simi was strangely restrained when it came to indulging in her favourite things, like sweeties. She’d been described as a mouse by her primary teachers, the type who would gently nibble on her food and take the teeniest of sips from her drink and could make her meals last forever. “But you might want to share them with your friends too.” She’d feel terribly guilty to take away the opportunity from someone else. She did help herself to another which she was holding on her tongue and allowing it to melt away into a sugary pile before swallowing it down. “Do you think you could wait until next term so I could be there too? I’d love to meet a house elf. We read a story about them in reading class last week called Topsy and the Time Turner.” In true primary school fashion, the book did not dwell on the historical plights of the poor creatures or else it might have scarred the child, instead the Elf met her ancestors dressed in historical costumes much like those they were sporting today.
“They grew trees in the common room?” she blinked. From the stories she’d heard she knew there was a large forest in the grounds and trees that they could climb and greenhouses full of plants but she wasn’t aware that the castle was home to greenery too. “How tall are the roofs?” Because the image in her head now was of enormously high ceilings hidden by the canopies of trees containing Bowtruckles and Augurey’s and other forest dwelling creatures.
“Okay, you promise?” She held out her dinky little pinky to shake on it. Even if Anna did forget, she wouldn’t hold it against her. “Or you could sneak me back into the castle before Mum even notices I’m gone.”
